It’s been a while since I have written anything & there could not be any thing better to write about than the Friendship Day. When the entire world is bragging about ‘True Friendship’ by sharing Friendship day posts and tagging their friends on ‘Facebook’ & tweeting about it on ‘Twitter’...how could I be left behind? So let me begin my post by wishing all my friends all over the world a very Happy Friendship Day (HFD).
I love making friends and have been truly blessed to have such a great friend circle which has always increased. This post is a small tribute to all my living friends which includes all my best friends, good friends, school & college friends, office friends, area friends, Internet friends (MS/FB/Twitter etc) so on & so forth and also Non living friends that consists of all the books that I have read, Experiences that I had etc. Everybody has their own definition of ‘Friendship’. For me ‘True friendship’ = 100% Trust + Comfort, 0% Ego & 0% Jealousy.
I believe we LIVE in a so called ‘Practical world’ today which we are so proud of that somewhere down the line we tend to overlook the delicate, intricate bond of friendship.. We live in a world where people are connected more electronically & less emotionally, where there are more options available. It hurts but it’s a truth. Human beings are best when it comes to adaptability & hence as and when we change environments we make more new friends and in the process most of the times tend to forget our old friends as we take them for granted. This gives rise to ego clashes and continues for days, then months & then years until that very essence of friendship disappears and the only way then we remain in touch with them is by wishing them a very HFD once a year via sms or FB/Twitter or some other electronic means :-( Sad, once our partners-in-crime now just become a small part of a day once a year!
Let’s change this. Let’s ensure that our friendship don’t go down the same way as mentioned above. Let’s not forget our old friends in the process of finding the new ones. Let’s use this opportunity & celebrate friendship day in its truest sense by connecting emotionally & not electronically! Let’s forget our ego’s if any, take time from our so called busy schedule and keep the spirit of friendship alive by celebrating friendship day everyday. Let’s get back to our so called partners-in-crime & continue the unforgettable legacy of Total Madness & leg pulling sessions, Crazy night-outs/parties, Adventure Trips & Hangouts etc.
Remember, The greatest gift that we can give to our friend is the gift of our time.
I end my post with a special mention to all my friends. Thank you for being there & enriching my life and making it worth living with your ever-lasting presence.
